Dark Brotherhood Reborn - Patch Collection

A set of patches to resolve conflicts with multiple mods as well as some add-ons and tweaks.

The Dark Brotherhood is arguably the most developed faction in Skyrim. However, once you complete its main questline, nearly everyone is gone and you're faced with an infinite loop of smaller Fallout missions. Your past family is mostly dead, replaced by a few generic NPCs who can follow you around; and... the rabbit hole you call your sanctuary is hardly a place you want to come home to.

Dark Brotherhood Reborn - Sanctuary of the Morning Star SSE (referred to in this manual as Sancturary Reborn-SR), modified by aluckymuse. The shelter is bigger, better lit, and better laid out; you have some of the extra conveniences that most Skyrim players would love to have in their homes, like bookshelves, artifact displays, and crafting stations. Having a new bathroom, a larger "winter garden," more beds, and more idle markers will help bring more life to the place - especially if you also choose to install mods that add additional NPCs to the sanctuary.

But if you get the patch here, you won't know anything about it. The purpose of these is to make the new shelter work well with other mods. I'm surprised by the number of mods that add/change content in this cell! In the Files section you will find patches with several fixes and adjustments, commands that go beyond just loading order to forwarding the correct records or merging them so that you can enjoy the best that these mods have to offer along with Sanctuary Reborn. This is a brief description of the fixes.

Patches included in this collection

Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USSEP): Forward USSEP records and replace several beds in this mod with their original models while giving them the same Noble Bed Net (USSEP adds these records to NPC packs, so they should not be disabled).

Legacy of the Dragon: Same as above, relocating one of this mod's beds with the original records and updating its mesh so that poor Greigor doesn't have to endure his (sort of) life anymore. Move Greigor's diary to "his" room.

Stylish Furniture and Clutter Overhaul: Moved some paintings to better suit the changes in the sanctuary's architecture and furniture. Forwarded Snazzy model and SR position for certain features such as weapon racks.

Save the Dark Brotherhood! (Classic Skyrim, by PrinceShroob) **: Adjusted idle markers to fit the new architecture and other markers added by Sanctuary Reborn.

EmperorW's Save the Dark Brotherhood - Skyrim Special Edition: Resolved several marked conflicts in Dawnstar Sanctuary.

Keep it clean: The converted Dawnstar Sanctuary already has bathrooms, but they are merely decorative. The patch adds a soap basket, undressing activator for PC and undressing area trigger for NPCs, steps for NPCs to enter the bathtub, and the navigation mesh. Also added keywords for cells that KiC treats as bathrooms.

Enhanced lighting and effects: This hotfix not only resolves existing conflicts, but also overhauls the unit's lighting to be consistent with ELFX. All light markers have corresponding light sources. Shadow-casting flames were added to fireplaces, and measures were taken to avoid flickering caused by concurrent lights. The smoke was not forgotten.

ENB Enhanced Lighting (ELE): Merges unit records, forwarding ELE image space and lighting templates, but retains Dark Brotherhood Reborn's other records.

Old Brotherhood (SSE): Edit bed and sleep marker locations.

Immersive Citizenship - AI Overhaul (ICAIO): Added persistent keywords to the wooden benches in Windpeak Inn.

DX Factions bo SE: Changed the location of the Dark Brotherhood manual.

Complete alchemy and cooking overhaul: moved some blood vials, blood collectors and chokeberry plants to new locations.

Amulets of Skyrim: Changed the positions of the "Amulet of the Listener" and "Amulet of the Shroud".
